The Dutch People Vote “NO” On The Association With The Ukraine by scully95: 12:07am On Apr 07, 2016
Okay, it appears that the Dutch voted “NO” on the association wit the Ukraine. RT says that exit polls report a 64% “NO” vote. That is the end of the entire Euromaidan project. Either the Eurobureaucrats will accept the result and act on it or they will have to declare it “only consultative” and ignore this result. If they do that, they will further discredit the entire enterprise and the blowback of that will be even worse.

Frankly, at this point the Europeans would be better off to use this vote as a pious excuse to forget this entire episode a dump an already semi-dead Ukronazi Ukraine. As for the people in the Ukraine, they will probably begin to realize that they have been totally had by the Europeans, badly, and that absolutely nobody needs them or cares about them. Welcome to the real world! Sorry for the pain, but you should have used your head before believing in all sorts of self-evidently delusional fairy tales.

the vote is non binding and only had 32% turnout. ( 3% margin of error)

might just be a gigantic waste of time eventually since the laws require 30% turnout. we will see since the dutch parliament already ratified the deal anyway

And please leave the "Ukraine NAZI" narrative a rest. Most Neo Nazis actually live In Russia.

An interesting comment from Case Poole:

"Indeed, we see strange alliances. The most fanatic proponents of the treaty in the Netherlands are the - let's call them - social liberals. As if Ukraine's brutal nationalism and oligarchic rule fits them. They have seen the appeals of Yulia Marushevska and that's good enough for them. Freedom, democracy, wealth, a better future within reach, all brought to you by a young lady speaking English, how can one say No? The educated classes fall for it, those with less education are sceptic. Meanwhile, the Dutch xenophobic nationalists - big mouths, but generally peaceful personalities - don't hold out their hands to their Ukrainian peers that are running the country. As the treaty is already being implemented, the Dutch vote is not going to make a practical difference. Laws and democracy mean nothing in the West. But this No vote is going to impact the way that the Dutch population will deal with its Euro expansionist leadership when developments in Ukraine are not running smoothly."
